Yuri,

Thanks for your reply.

I have now:

# cat /boot/loader.conf
kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
cryptodev_load="YES"
zfs_load="YES"
kern.vt.fb.default_mode="800x600"

Rebooted, and the resolution defaults to 1920x1080.

The resolution is 1920x1080 during the entire boot process. No kms
drivers loaded.
